2200 Leavenworth St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The 36-unit, 6-story multi-family residential building at 2200 Leavenworth Street in Russian Hill, built in 1928, has undergone significant renovations and faced several major issues in recent years. Since 2021, the property has seen extensive unit rehabilitation work, with multiple apartments receiving kitchen and bathroom remodels, including washer and dryer installations. This work has encompassed Units 102, 205, 206, 305, 404, 501, 504, and 505, with associated permits totaling over $600,000 in improvements.

In 2022, the building underwent important infrastructure upgrades, including the installation of three tankless Rinnai CU199IN water heaters with a 119-gallon storage tank. However, the building has also experienced multiple concerning events, particularly in 2020-2021, including complaints about unpermitted construction, potential hazardous material handling, water damage, and plumbing issues affecting multiple floors and the garage area. There were also violations in 2016 requiring repairs to walls, ceilings, windows, and insulation, though these were abated by June 2016. More recently, there have been several building system concerns, including a sleeping area requirements violation issued in December 2023, which remains open as of October 2024.

The fire safety record shows multiple false alarms and system malfunctions, with one confirmed building fire incident recorded, though no injuries were reported. The property management has maintained an active renovation schedule since 2021, completing substantial unit improvements, though this has occasionally led to tenant complaints about construction activities. Recent building permits demonstrate ongoing investment in the property, including a 2024 permit for updating fire safety systems. The building's history includes one tenant buyout of $50,000 involving two tenants in September 2022.
